Desktop Metal completes acquisition of EnvisionTEC

Desktop Metal, Inc. announced it has completed the previously announced acquisition of EnvisionTEC. The transaction is valued at $300 million, consisting of a combination of cash and Desktop Metal stock and subject to customary adjustment.

EnvisionTEC will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Desktop Metal and continue to be led by founder Al Siblani, who will serve as Chief Executive Officer of the EnvisionTEC business.

As the original inventor of digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing technology, EnvisionTEC has one of the strongest intellectual property portfolios in the area-wide photopolymer 3D printing market, counting more than 140 issued and pending patents. The company has in excess of 190 qualified materials for its platforms and more than 5,000 customers across a range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, medical devices, jewelry, and biofabrication. In addition, EnvisionTEC is a leader in the dental market, with over 1,000 dental customers now using its printers for pre-production and end-use parts in this segment.

EnvisionTEC also brings a compelling product portfolio for photopolymer additive manufacturing under Desktop Metal’s umbrella, including the new Envision One and Xtreme 8K printing platforms designed to deliver high-speed and economic end-use parts production with exceptional accuracy and properties meeting or exceeding thermoplastics. The company is a pioneer in digital biofabrication additive manufacturing with its Bioplotter platform, which supports the production of biocompatible parts for medical applications such as bone regeneration, cartilage regeneration, soft tissue fabrication, drug release, and organ printing.

In addition, Desktop Metal adds EnvisionTEC’s robotic additive manufacturing (RAM) digital casting capabilities, which it plans to significantly advance using its proprietary and patent-pending Single Pass Jetting technology originally developed for the Production System to drive productivity enhancements and improve part economics. The acquisition more than doubles Desktop Metal’s global distribution network, adding vertically focused partners in markets such as medical, dental, and jewelry, and increasing its geographic sales capabilities to 68 countries around the world.
